‘“Honestly, there was no conversation,” Allen said after the win about what to do on fourth down. I came to the sideline and thought it (the play to Knox) was a touchdown. Obviously, they said it (was not a touchdown) over the Jumbotron, and it was just calling the personnel for the offense, so we’re just going back in. So, I really trust coach McDermott for being aggressive tonight on fourth downs. I know early on in the game, too, we converted on a few. So, yeah, it feels good to have that trust in him.”‘
